DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Lower Horsebridge: your questions answered
Is Lower Horsebridge close to London?
About 45 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Lower Horsebridge?
The closest is Polegate station, roughly 4.1 miles away.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Can the van come to Lower Horsebridge?
Yes, we do. Lower Horsebridge is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Keep the queue dry
- Let us know about coeliac disease
Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
A closer look at the menu
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
